Retailers jumping the gun on a game’s release is nothing new, but it’s also just as often a placeholder date or price so that things look a little more legit. Regardless, Amazon Italy has currently slapped an expected arrival time of April 17th on [app=4089]Diablo III[/app] – a date that has failed to change even after G4G ran with the story over the weekend, presumably prompting Blizzard to go, “Argh! Desist!” and throw magic hammers at them.

Of course. A foreign company, which has little to nothing to do with Blizzard at all, must absolutely know what the release date is. How could anybody possibly find fault in this release date? It must be positively legit. I, for one, thoroughly believe that, even though Blizzard haven't announced it anywhere else through legitimate channels, that this must positively be the correct release date. It can't possibly be wrong, right?
